Join Dr Andy Harter for the 2018 Turing Lecture. In his talk, Dr Harter will examine the role of “art” in technology - including not only form and beauty but also craft, design, skill, invention and intuition.  Can we do more to appreciate and promote the importance of “art” as a feature on the interdisciplinary landscape?  

Dr Andy Harter is a distinguished innovator and entrepreneur. He was Director of Research and Engineering at the influential AT&T Cambridge Laboratory where he led many hardware and software projects through to commercial exploitation. He was responsible for VNC software and its seminal role in establishing the remote access market.
